In Army-Topo/Compass Exercise

In Army-Topo/Compass Exercise

This week, i spent most of the initial days at home serving my MC... heez... cos i had mc for my wisdom tooth op ma..
it was like "darn", SSG Chris wanted me and Aaron to come back to camp the night when our mc expires.. sucks.. then imagine the next day we still have to go for our medical appt... so troublesome..

But anyway, that was not to be at all. Upon reaching, we realised that the medics from Bttn HQ was off for their retreat, while MEC medics were off to Nee soon for the next coming week. Worse is that the next day , my company had a Topo exercise. With no one left in the unit, I and Aaron had no choice but to change our medical appt to the following monday. What made me scratching me head is that i, being a guy on status who can only wear admin are being called out to provide extra cover too. So for the 2 days of Topo and compass exercise, i was with them, the only one who is not wearing uniform.

It was like "oh man!". all the mosquitoes were feeding on me. And worse, i had nothing to do beside chatting with the guys or reading my book.

For the topo exercise, the only interesting thing that happen was at the end of it, suddenly rain comes, and we didnt had much shelter. Everyone has to rush over here and there to save all the stores and documents. i was just nice in the rover with Hock. In that situation, everyone was concerned with the teams still out in the field, still in the mist of their Topo.

so the drivers were activated to go find the teams and bring them back to company line. We in the safety rover also had to follow as the signal set handled by Hock was in the vehicle. So i tried to assist in hearing the signal messages being passed thru. After an hour plus, all teams were found and managed to get back to company line safely.
